Scholarships and Grants
Academic Scholarships
We offer two academic scholarships to provide support to those students who are outstanding in their field:
- School Leaver Scholarships
- Bachelor of Visual Art (Honours) Scholarships
School Leaver Scholarships
Our School Leaver Scholarships provide $5,000 in support to undertake the first year of full-time study of the Bachelor of Visual Art (BVA). Scholarships of up to $5000 will be awarded to successful applicants as a contribution to study-related expenses. If you’ve successfully completed senior secondary school within the last three years, this scholarship is open for you.
Applications for Semester 1 2024 are now open.
Bachelor of Visual Art (Honours) Scholarship
Our BVA (Hons) Scholarship provides $7,500 towards study-related expenses in our Honours program. Honours at ACSA is a year-long period of research and art making, building on the research undertaken in the final year of the Bachelor of Visual Art. Honours students receive a private art studio on campus, work closely with a chosen supervisor and attend a weekly Honours Research Methods class with their cohort.
Applications for 2024 are now open.
“Receiving the scholarship has greatly impacted my final year. I have been able to afford the necessary materials for my sculpting and it has significantly supported my living situation and allowed me to spend more time on my practice. I am honoured to have been awarded the scholarship, I don’t know how I would have been able to afford living expenses without it.”
Tahlia Hieatt, Honours Scholarship recipient 2023
Relocation Grants
• Freight of furniture / belongings to Adelaide
• Costs associated with a rental agreement (e.g. bond payment or connecting utilities)
• Transportation costs to travel to Adelaide (e.g. petrol / vehicle hire / airfare)
• live outside South Australia at the time of applying OR live in regional South Australia at the time of applying
“Moving from Ireland to Australia I was unable to bring any supplies with me – the relocation grant helped me immensely. The grant meant I was able to get the materials I need for my education and practice and greatly eased the stress of relocating, I am incredibly grateful for it.”
Sasha Porter, 2022 Relocation Grant recipient
